I get asked all the time....where do you teach?
Well, truth be told, I'm a bit of a nomad. Being married with children has sapped me of my ability to commit and settle down, and so I find myself, in my path as a kids' yoga teacher and artist, drifting endlessly from one place to another. And I love every second of it.
So where do I teach? Everywhere! So far this year, I have held several sessions of yoga at local venues, appeared at countless libraries and worked privately with students through the federally funded 21st Century Program. But if you are interested in bringing yoga to your school, group or family, there are several ways to do so.
One is to contact your local library. I have held workshops in dozens of Bay State libraries, and generally those libraries not only have the funds through grants and "friends", but they are always actively looking for new programs to bring to their patrons. Just ask! Give them my website and ask them to have me come for a workshop.
Another great avenue is to sponsor a yoga class for your child's school. Think of it as a gift that you're giving to your child's classroom :-) I also work privately with families in their homes, or with several families at one time; Playgroups, peri-natal gatherings, you name it.
And the final way (and this is something to think about for the 2011-2012 school year) is to put me in touch with your PTO and help me to get an afterschool yoga class going at your school. For a small tuition fee per child, I can come to your school for a 6-week session and make yoga an afterschool activity for dozens of kids! I have had great success with this arrangement over the past couple years and I would welcome the opportunity to meet some new faces :-)
Blessings,

What people are saying...
Molly B. says..."My 2 1/2 year old just finished up a 6 week session of fun, yoga, art and play! He had such a great time, and actually learned some poses: dog, butterfly, tree, and cat! We can't wait for the next session, thank you Mandy!"
Brenda D. says..."The kids enjoyed your class!! They really liked the music and J said he was very relaxed after Yoga. For him to be relaxed is a feat in itself. Kudos to you!!! We noticed that the next morning J seemed very relaxed. You might have to move in with us if Yoga calms him down!!!! :-)"
Lisa says..."[The yoga class] was GREAT! The kids had so much fun and there wasn’t a time when little girl laughter didn’t fill the air. "
Susan M. says..."Mandy’s engaging personality makes EVERY child feel special and welcome. She has an incredible talent for interacting with young children and finds interesting ways to make learning fun. Her ability to let children explore alternative ways of doing things makes creativity flow beyond normal boundaries. Her prices are more than reasonable and you can tell she does it for the LOVE of it as well.”
Beverly L. says...“[Mandy] brings a smile to every face as she walks in the door with her mats, games and positive energy. The children love her and they love their time spent turning and twisting into pretzels, animals and inanimate objects as Mandy teaches them that yoga is healthy and fun.”
